I met with the founders – T.J. McIntyre (a swimmer) and Duane Primozich (a runner) in their office above Rudi’s near Hwy 36 and Table Mesa. They’ve got a rocking business going – powered by a bunch of Mate drinks. I’m been enjoying various flavors of Mate’s for the past few days and am hooked.

We’ve got some fun stuff planned together, including providing a bunch of Mate for the race participants (I wonder if I’ll be the first person to ever drink a Mate Latte at the North Pole?)
